ried almost an equal distance and was SO
horribly mangled that her recovery is inn
possible. Whitbeck and Hatch were
thrown over a pile of fence posts, but were
not seriously injured.
Strewn along the track were parts of
the remains OF the ladies both Of whom
were estmable girls, and one. Miss Shaver

Commercial Travellers.

Louis Garrison brought suit against the
Grand Trunk railroad company because
that company would not sell him 1000
mile ticket at the price paid by CONNER
cial travellers, and the Michigan Central
company complains that the Grand Trunk
company was selling to commercial travel
ers at lower rates than to the public gen.
orally. The defendant admits the facts as
charged, but AYERS that nothing alleged is
in conflict with the law. The opinion re
views and discusses at length the various
points set up by the defendant and con-
cludes as follows
Common carriers may continue the is
suance of mileage passenger tickets the

or unreasonable preference. Persons be

discrimination. and this l. true whether
